Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify butterfat content <5.5% via lab analysis to qualify under low fat crumb; exceeds limit shifts to higher duty subheadings
• Subject to annual quantitative limits (2.12M kg total); ensure origin from quota countries like Ireland/UK for access
• Provide manufacturer's declaration on non-retail candy use to avoid reclassification as consumer confectionery
